•
Interface: From the list, choose the physical network interface (Dedicated
WAN, Optional WAN, DMZ or LAN), through which this route is accessible.
•
Gateway IP Address: Enter the IP address of the gateway router through
which the destination host or network can be reached.
•
Metric: Enter a number from 2 to 15 to manage the priority of the route. If
multiple routes to the same destination exist, the route with the lowest metric
is chosen.
Click Apply to save your settings, or click Reset to revert to the saved settings.
Dynamic Routing
Dynamic Routing or RIP, is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) that is commonly
used in internal networks. It allows a router to exchange its routing information
automatically with other routers, and allows it to dynamically adjust its routing
tables and adapt to changes in the network.
RIP is disabled by default.
Click Networking on the menu bar, and then click Routing > Dynamic in the
navigation tree.
The Dynamic Routing (RIP) page appears.
In the RIP Configuration area, enter the following information:
•
RIP Direction: Determines how the router sends and receives RIP packets:
-
Both: The router both broadcasts its routing table and also processes RIP
information received from other routers.
-
Out Only: The router broadcasts its routing table periodically but does
not accept RIP information from other routers.
-
In Only: The router accepts RIP information from other routers, but does
not broadcast its routing table.
-
None: The router neither broadcasts its route table nor does it accept any
RIP packets from other routers. This effectively disables RIP.
